Answers to Q&A
What INSPIRED you to become a model?
Growing up, lots of people suggested to my parents to get me into modeling. In grade 9, when I was about 13-14, we started to take those suggestions more seriously and went around to a few agencies who seemed interested but since I was still so young and babyfaced, often enough the response was, “come back in a few years”, so we put those plans on the back burner or a while. In 2021, my dad and I were shopping in SportChek when a man came over and started chatting with us about me potentially getting into modeling. He told us he has a friend who is the president of a modeling agency and gave us her contact information. Shortly after I had a zoom call with Cathy, Allison, and Sharon and I have been signed with LeDrew ever since!
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
The most exciting part about modeling to me is that it is always something new. You’re constantly meeting new people, trying on new clothes, trying new hairstyles, trying new makeup looks, the list goes on. Through modeling I’ve got to dip my toes into so many different styles and aesthetics that I would have never attempted otherwise and it has definetly influenced and inspired my personal style!
Can you share with us some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
Patience is key! There are definetly a lot of moment in this industry that can cause dissapointment or doubt, but be patient! Your time will come, whether it be now or a year from now. Waiting can be tough, but it will all be worth it in the end :)
share a fun fact about yourself!
I love doing crafts! I enjoy crocheting, knitting, cross stitch, sewing; you name it, I’ve probably tried it!
